My first thought though is he left handed? I know his father was, I am and it’s the first thing that came to mind.
@Thomas: According to Infoplease’s Left-Handed Presidents page, George W. Bush is the first right-handed president since Jimmy Carter. The southpaw Presidents are: James Garfield, Herbert Hoover, Harry Truman, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton.
Whose bright idea was it to have the APEC bigwigs all dress in identical overcoats and wave like they’re Soviet-era Great-Leader-Hails-a-Cab statuary.
It’s like they deliberately set out to impersonate this statue of Kim Il-Sung — and succeeded.
At least he raised his hand; I can see one PM (sort of…) that doesn’t appear to have made the effort.
@Chris Taylor: One could argue that the group wave was modelled after the Beverley Hillbillies waving goodbye as the end credits rolled.
I guess this is the time to fess up that I’ve never watched an episode of the Beverly Hillbillies. Not sure if that should make me proud or ashamed. =)
Thanks for the find Joey. It was my first thought, I had looked online but hadn’t found anything about if he was right handed and didn’t come across that page.
